My first Bonnefoy, probably not the Bonnefoy I should have started with. I honestly came in expecting some subtle modernism - and, well, experienced plenty of subtleties (I am sure some of them have slipped by me), but the modernist part was rather thin. For a poet that comes after Surrealism, Bonnefoy comes across as remarkably backwards-stepping and it is only the remarkable atmosphere from some poems that redeem this mishmash of rather different poems. "La voix lointaine" is the cycle that gets closest to my expectations; on the other end of the spectrum, "L'encore aveugle" made me wonder at times why did I bother to read this (let aside the musicality, which is the thing Bonnefoy seems to excel in)... The last cycle is not so bad, but it makes me want to return to Ponge. (Why was such a feeble book released from the very beginning in the NRF Poésie Gallimard collection? Oh, because Bonnefoy is a "no-risk winner" choice by now... I guess the best things French poetry can offer nowadays are (as usual?) far from the "establishment"...)… (altro)

Some truly excellent poems, with a few too many that aren't very good. The most recent work in prose was generally fascinating, but the verse was far too clearly the work of an old man: unnecessary formalism, memorials, little to say. So, the prose was solid throughout, and the earlier poetry was often astonishingly good.

My French isn't great, but it does seem that Rogers simplifies Bonnefoy's syntax *substantially*. If you know French better than I do, please tell me if I have this right, or not.… (altro)
